Our last book, My Sister the Serial Killer was enjoyed by most but some found it dull and in need of more action from the sister.
Our next book Is A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James.
"A Brief History of Seven Killings, tells the story of the attempted assassination of Bob Marley, who is referred to throughout as “the singer”, and its aftermath. But perhaps more importantly, it tells the story of Jamaica in the 1970s and early 80s, when the guns flooded in, CIA agents took up residence, and the island went through one of its most violently defining moments." - The Guardian
